SECRETARY'S REPORT 63 



Tests were made in one niidden heap, a cache pit, and eight other test 

 pits, and the site was mapped. An extensive sample of Stanley Ware 

 pottery was obtamed. Site 39SL3, located on a low terrace, was a 

 compact area of 26 house depressions but no evidence of a fortification 

 ditch or large ceremonial house. Four houses were tested and three 

 cache pits, three fireplaces, and a burial were excavated. The site 

 was mapped. Pottery was of the Stanley "Ware and some historic 

 objects were recovered. Site 39SL28, located on the low brush prom- 

 ontory just east of 39SL12, consisted of one large ceremonial house 

 depression and at least seven other smaller house depressions. One 

 house was tested, four middens and two cache pits were excavated, 

 and the site was mapped. Stanley Ware pottery predominated m 

 the collections but some Kussell Ware was also found. These three 

 sites and the one multicomponent site listed in the Thomas Riggs 

 group above were the only sites with a predominance of Stanley Ware 

 pottery. 



At the following sites Russell Ware pottery predominated. Site 

 39SL8, situated on a low terrace, represents a diffuse village of 

 numerous house depressions. Three houses were tested, and one 

 midden, three cache pits, one fireplace, and one test pit were excavated, 

 and the site was mapped. Site 39SL30 consisted of two very shallow 

 house depressions on a low terrace promontory. One house was 

 tested, and two middens and a fireplace were excavated. A map was 

 made of the site. Site 39SL24 was a small, compact village contain- 

 ing one large ceremonial house depression and at least five smaller 

 depressions located on the low terrace above the floodplain. Four 

 houses were tested, a midden, a fireplace, and a cache pit were exca- 

 vated, and the site was mapped. Site 39SL202, the remains of 

 another village situated on a low terrace above the floodplain, con- 

 sisted of two rather large, ringed house depressions. Both houses 

 were tasted, two middens, and two fireplaces were excavated, and the 

 site was mapped. Site 39SL36 contained only one very faint house 

 depression on a high (or second) terrace and a small rock cairn. 

 The house was tested, four middens and a fireplace were excavated, 

 and the site was mapped. It was a small, poor site but some addi- 

 tional house depressions may have been present. Site 39SL50, newly 

 located in 1959, consisted of two shallow house depressions on a small 

 terrace promontory. One house was tested, a midden and a test pit 

 were excavated, and the site was mapped. It was a small, unpro- 

 ductive site. Site 39SL23 consisted of a large ceremonial house 

 depression and 17 smaller house depressions located on a high (or 

 second) terrace above the floodplain. A considerable quantity of 

 collared rim sherds were present in the collections. Three houses 

 were tested, a midden, four cache pits, and two test pits were exca- 

 vated, and the site was mapped. Site 39SL21 was a single house
